Financial terms were not disclosed, however multiple media outlets reported it was worth $2 million.

The deal includes a mutual option for 2026 that comes with a $500,000 buyout, per the reports.

Stallings, 34, hit .263 with nine home runs and 36 RBIs last season, his first in Colorado.

For his career, Stallings is batting .239 with 33 home runs and 184 RBIs with the Pittsburgh Pirates (2016-21), Miami Marlins (2022-23) and Rockies.

The A-ball prospect was not named in the initial report.

To make room for Morgan on the 40-man roster, the Cubs are designating infielder/outfielder Patrick Wisdom for assignment, per the report.

Morgan, 28, pitched to a 1.93 ERA in 32 relief appearances for the Guardians last season. He is 18-12 with a 3.97 ERA in 161 career appearances (19 starts) in four seasons with the Guardians.

Wisdom, 33, batted .171 with eight home runs and 23 RBIs in 75 games with the Cubs last season. He's a career .209 hitter with 88 home runs.

Pinellas County commissioners late Tuesday agreed to delay a vote on issuing bonds to pay for its portion of a new $1.3 billion ballpark in St. Petersburg, putting off the vote until Dec. 17. Commissioner Brian Scott, who supports the county funding as outlined in a deal made in July, made a motion to delay the vote because he sensed the issue would go down to defeat on Tuesday.

Two new commissioners elected in the Nov. 5 election are believed to oppose the deal, and they replaced two that had supported it.

"Hopefully that will allow some time for our new commissioners to get up to speed on this," Scott told the Tampa Bay Times of the delay.

Commissioner Rene Flowers was the lone dissenter in the 6-1 vote to delay the financing discussion, and she told the newspaper that she doesn't see it passing.

"I just felt that instead of, you know, having additional conversations and taking up time, let's just be forthright and let's just put our responses on the table and stand flat-footed," she said. "I don't believe that additional time will change their minds."

The vote previously had been delayed because of Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

The outcome of the meeting left the Rays reeling. Earlier Tuesday, the club delivered a letter to the commissioners, informing them that the current financial terms for the stadium no longer were viable and that a new solution needed to be reached.

In the letter, club presidents Brian Auld and Matt Silverman said the commission's failure to approve the financing by this point has set back the planned 2028 move-in to the ballpark, forcing the team to halt construction plans for the stadium and surrounding area.

"As we have informed the county administrator and St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch, the county's failure to finalize the bonds last month ended the ability for a 2028 delivery of the ballpark," the letter read. "As we have made clear at every step of this process, a 2029 ballpark delivery would result in significantly higher costs that we are not able to absorb alone."

While team officials attended the commission meeting, they made no comment. Instead, they gave their reaction to the latest events in the letter.

"The Rays organization is saddened and stunned by this unfortunate turn of events. We have put in decades of work and spent more than $50 million to bring this historic project to reality -- a project that had been approved by the City of St. Petersburg and Pinellas County. Now, that enormous investment of human and financial capital has been jeopardized by the county's failure to live up to its July agreement."

Welch, in a statement to the Times, said he believes the July deal is still valid and the city "will continue to work with our partners towards that successful outcome."

Pinellas County commissioners approved $312.5 million in public financing via a tourist tax in July, funded initially by bonds, but in October delayed the bond vote. The reason given was uncertainty as to where the Rays would play next season after the roof at Tropicana Field was shredded by Hurricane Milton.

The Rays will play their home games in 2025 at the New York Yankees' spring training complex in Tampa.

"While we are focused on preparing for a unique 2025 season, we stand ready to work on a new solution with any and all willing partners to preserve the future of Major League Baseball in Tampa Bay for generations to come," Auld and Silverman wrote in the letter.

The next test for the ballpark comes Thursday, when the St. Petersburg City Council is scheduled to vote on selling its own bonds to pay for its share of the stadium, area roads and sewers.

Both left-handers won the pitching Triple Crown, with Sale leading the National League in wins, strikeouts and earned-run average, and Skubal -- who was voted for the award unanimously -- repeating the feat in the American League.

It is the first Cy Young Award for each.

Sale took the honors over fellow National League finalists Zack Wheeler of the Philadelphia Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates rookie Paul Skenes. Sale received 26 first-place votes and four for second for 198 total points in voting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Wheeler was second with 130 points (four firsts, 25 seconds, one fourth) and Skenes, the NL Rookie of the Year, was third with 53 (one second, 13 thirds, three fourths). Dylan Cease of the Padres (45), Shota Imanaga of the Cubs (38) and Logan Webb of the Giants (18) rounded out the voting.

Skubal, with all 30 first-place votes for 210 points, bested American League finalists Seth Lugo of the Kansas City Royals (93) and Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanual Clase (66). The Royals' Cole Ragans (48), the Orioles' Corbin Burnes (47), the Mariners' Logan Gilbert (25), the Astros' Framber Valdez (17), the Rangers' Kirby Yates (two), the Astros' Yusei Kikuchi (one) and the Guardians' Cade Smith (one) rounded out the voting.

Sale, 35, had been in the Cy Young conversation multiple times, the runner-up in 2017 and finishing in the top six in voting for seven consecutive seasons from 2012-18.

The award is the crowning achievement in the comeback for Sale, who missed all of the 2020 season following Tommy John surgery and was limited to just 11 combined starts in 2021 and 2022 due to injury. After a 6-5 season with a 4.30 ERA with the Boston Red Sox in 2023, he was traded to the Braves last Dec. 30 along with cash for infielder Vaughn Grissom.

In his first season in Atlanta, Sale finished 18-3 with a 2.38 ERA. Over 29 starts and 177 2/3 innings, he struck out 225 batters and walked 39, giving up just nine home runs. He was named the NL Comeback Player of the Year last week.

Sale's season ended in disappointment, however, as a back ailment kept him from pitching in the postseason.

In his career with the Chicago White Sox (2010-16), Red Sox (2017-23) and Braves, Sale has a 138-83 record with a 3.04 ERA and 2,414 strikeouts over 372 appearances (292 starts).

As for Skubal, he won the award on his 28th birthday. A ninth-round draft pick by the Tigers in 2018, he made his debut in 2020. In 31 starts this season, he finished 18-4 with a 2.39 ERA, striking out 228 and walking 35 over 192 innings.

In the postseason, he was 1-1 (2.37 ERA) in three starts.

Over 106 career regular-season appearances (103 starts), Skubal is 41-31 with a 3.37 ERA. He has 648 strikeouts in 571 1/3 innings.

Sale became the first Atlanta pitcher to win the award since Tom Glavine won for the second time in 1998, which capped a dominant decade by Braves pitchers when Glavine, Greg Maddux and John Smoltz combined for six Cy Youngs in eight seasons.

Skubal is the third Tigers pitcher in the 2000s to take home the prize, following Justin Verlander (2011) and Max Scherzer (2013).

This season was the fourth in MLB history that both leagues had a Triple Crown winner in the same year. The last time that happened was 2011, with Verlander of the Tigers and Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers.

The AL Central champion Guardians had a highly successful season under Vogt in his first year managing the club, winning 92 games and defeating the Detroit Tigers to make their first AL Championship Series since 2016. They lost in five games to the New York Yankees.

Vogt, 40, is a unique winner of the award, having only just completed his playing career in 2022.

He becomes the fastest to win the award following a playing career, the fifth-youngest winner overall and one of just 10 to win the award in his first year of managing.

The former two-time All-Star improved a young roster from 76 wins to 92 wins in a single year, showing an immediate impact in taking the reins from three-time Manager of the Year Terry Francona (2013, 2016, 2022).

The Guardians have tied the Chicago White Sox for the most MOY awards all-time (five). In addition to Vogt and Francona, Eric Wedge took home the honors in 2007.

Earning 27 first-place votes of a possible 30, Vogt won the award over fellow AL Central managers Matt Quatraro of the Kansas City Royals and A.J. Hinch of the Tigers, both of whom also led turnarounds and landed postseason appearances.

Much like Vogt, the 65-year-old Murphy was also in his first full year as a manager and earned 27 first-place votes. However, the wealth of experience Murphy brought to the table in Milwaukee was in stark contrast to Vogt.

From 2016 to 2023, Murphy served as a top assistant of Craig Counsell - who he once coached at Notre Dame (1988-94) - in Milwaukee until Counsell departed for the Chicago Cubs last offseason.

In addition, he was a longtime coach of Arizona State (1995-2009) and filled in as an interim manager for the San Diego Padres in 2015, coaching that team to a 42-54 mark during his tenure.

In 2024, Murphy led a 93-69 team that won the NL Central (ahead of the Cubs) and reached the postseason despite significant challenges faced along the way, including the departure of Corbin Burnes and injuries to fellow top right-handers Brandon Woodruff and Devin Williams.

Murphy won the NL award over Mike Shildt of the Padres and Carlos Mendoza of the New York Mets.

Siri, 29, figures to fill a spot in center field for the Mets with Harrison Bader not expected to return to the club.

Siri spent parts of the last three seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays and played in a career-high 130 games in 2024, with 116 starts in center field. He batted .187 this past season but hit 18 home runs and 47 RBIs while stealing 14 bases.

In his four-year major league career with the Houston Astros (2021-22) and Rays (2022-24), Siri is a career .210 hitter with 54 home runs, 136 RBIs and 43 stolen bases over 356 games.

Orze, 27, was a fifth-round draft pick by the Mets in 2020 and made his major league debut in 2024. He went 0-1 in two games out of the bullpen, allowing four runs in 1 2/3 innings, translating to a 21.60 ERA.

McKinven, 35, comes from the staff of the Milwaukee Brewers, where the former minor league pitcher worked as the club's run-prevention coordinator. The Chicago-area native had a game-planning role under manager Pat Murphy and had been with Milwaukee for nine seasons.

Venable was announced as the new White Sox manager on Nov. 8. He replaced former manager Pedro Grifol, who was fired last season along with three members of the coaching staff, including bench coach Charlie Montoyo. Grady Sizemore finished the season as interim manager.

McKinven's addition comes after Ryan Fuller was hired last week as the White Sox's director of hitting. Fuller, 34, was a co-hitting coach the past three seasons for the Baltimore Orioles.

Severino, 30, was 11-7 with a 3.91 ERA in 31 starts in his first season with the Mets, striking out 161 batters across 182 innings.

A two-time All-Star with the New York Yankees (2017, 2018), Severino is 65-44 with a 3.81 ERA in 172 games (156 starts) with the Yankees (2015-19, 2021-23) and Mets.

The deadline for players to accept or decline qualifying offers is Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET. If Severino signs with another team, the Mets will be compensated with a draft pick.

Mets first baseman Pete Alonso was also among the 13 MLB players tendered a one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer this year. He is expected to decline.

JUAN SOTO

As expected, New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto rejected the team's qualifying offer, the New York Post reported, and will continue his pursuit for a lucrative free-agent offer.

Soto, 26, batted .288 with a .989 OPS in his first season with the Yankees and hit 41 home runs with 109 RBIs while guiding the club into the World Series.

Big-market clubs like the Yankees, New York Mets, Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies all reportedly have interest in the four-time All-Star, who was a Silver Slugger winner this past season.

Soto is expected to command one of the largest MLB contracts ever as a free agent.

Skenes received 23 of 30 first-place votes for 136 points in balloting conducted by the Baseball Writers' Association of American.

San Diego Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill was second with seven first-place votes and 104 points. Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio (26) was third and Chicago Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga (four) was fourth.

Skenes' strong campaign opened eyes as he quickly handled major league hitters after being the No. 1 overall pick in 2023 out of LSU. He spent his first two college seasons at Air Force.

"I've surrounded myself with good people," Skenes told MLB Network of his success. "I've been super lucky to experience all the things that I have. I try to continue to stay present and enjoy the ride."

Skenes is the first starting pitcher to win the NL award since Jacob deGrom of the New York Mets in 2014. He is the first Pirate to win the honor since outfielder Jason Bay in 2004.

Skenes is the fifth No. 1 overall pick to win Rookie of the Year. Carlos Correa of the Houston Astros was the most recent in 2015. The others are Bryce Harper (2012 with Nationals), Darryl Strawberry (1983, Mets) and Bob Horner (1978, Braves).

Skenes, who turned 22 in May, went 11-3 with a 1.96 ERA and 0.95 WHIP with 170 strikeouts in 133 innings. He is also one of three finalists for the NL Cy Young Award.

Skenes was the starting pitcher for the NL in the All-Star Game. He allowed just 94 hits in 23 starts.

"The coolest part is we can put a bow on this past year and we can kind of look forward to next year," he said.

Merrill, who turned 21 in April, batted .292 with 24 homers and 90 RBIs and was a member of the NL All-Star team.

Merrill was a shortstop by trade with the Padres moving him to center field during spring training. He proved to be a big-time clutch player, hitting six tying or game-winning homers in the eighth inning or later.

Chourio is the youngest player in major league history to record a 20-homer, 20-steal, reaching the mark at 20 years, 185 days. Vada Pinson (1959 for the Reds) and Mike Trout (2012 of the Angels) also did it in their "age-20 seasons," but both turned 21 before reaching the milestone.

Chourio batted .275 with 21 homers and 22 steals in 148 games.

The Pinellas County Commission is scheduled to vote on $600 million of bonds for the project on Tuesday, but a vote postponed last month could be delayed again.

Rays owner Stuart Sternberg is seething from last month's non-action he viewed as the commission breaking promises.

"Last month, the county commission upended our ballpark agreement by not approving their bonds, as they promised to do," Sternberg told the Tampa Bay Times. "That action sent a clear message that we had lost the county as a partner.

"The future of baseball in Tampa Bay became less certain after that vote."

Sternberg said that relocation "is not an unlikely conclusion."

As structure, the proposal up for vote calls for the new ballpark to open in 2028 in the city's Historic Gas Plant District. Any delay in construction would certainly raise the cost of the project.

Complicating the situation is that the area was damaged during Hurricane Milton, which struck the area on Oct. 9. The Category 3 hurricane ravaged Tropicana Field and tore off 18 of the 24 roof panels.

A report released by the city of St. Petersburg pinpoints stadium repairs at $55 million and $26 million alone for the roof replacement.

Next season, the Rays are scheduled to play at George Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, the spring-training site of the New York Yankees.

On the possibility of franchise relocation, the Tampa Bay Times cited a $25 million insurance policy for repairs. If the commission chooses not to pay beyond that price, the Rays would be free to pursue relocation as soon as 2026.

"We're going to exhaust all that we can here until, and unless, it comes to that," Sternberg told the Tampa Bay Times. "We've been in that sort of position before, in a sense, but without an expiring clock. An expiring clock that just exploded, basically.

"If we had 10 years, 12 years left, it's a different conversation. If we had one year left, it's probably a different conversation. If we had no plans to do a stadium here, it's a different conversation."

The 2025 season will mark the Rays' 28th season on the West Coast of Florida.

The other first-time candidates are CC Sabathia, Dustin Pedroia, Hanley Ramirez, Carlos Gonzalez, Ian Kinsler, Ben Zobrist, Troy Tulowitzki, Russell Martin, Brian McCann, Curtis Granderson, Adam Jones and Fernando Rodney.

Suzuki swept American League Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player honors in 2001 and made the All-Star team in each of his first 10 seasons. The 10-time Gold Glove outfielder retired with 3,089 hits and a .311 average.

Hernandez was a six-time All-Star and the 2010 AL Cy Young award winner. He tossed a perfect game in 2012, won league ERA titles in 2010 (2.27) and 2014 (2.14) and finished his career with 169 wins and 2,524 strikeouts.

They join 14 holdovers led by relief pitcher Billy Wagner, who fell five votes shy of induction in the 2024 balloting for a Cooperstown class featuring Adrian Beltre, Joe Mauer and Todd Helton. Wagner is on the ballot for the 10th and final time.

The other returnees are Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez, Andruw Jones, Carlos Beltran, Chase Utley, Omar Vizquel, Jimmy Rollins, Bobby Abreu, Andy Pettitte, Mark Buehrle, Francisco Rodriguez, Torii Hunter and David Wright.

Martinez, 34, opted to stay put after a breakout season in which he finished 10-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 42 games (16 starts) and struck out 116 batters in 142 1/3 innings.

The deadline for players to accept or decline qualifying offers is Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET.

Martinez is 37-45 with a 4.09 ERA in 240 games (103 starts) with the Texas Rangers (2014-17), San Diego Padres (2022-23) and Reds. He played in Japan from 2018-21.

Terms were not reported for the 31-year-old veteran, who split the 2024 season between the San Francisco Giants, Cincinnati Reds and Baltimore Orioles. He hit a combined .209 with two homers and 18 RBIs in 84 games.

Slater is a career .252 hitter with 40 home runs, 171 RBIs and 48 stolen bases in 634 games with the Giants (2017-24), Reds and Orioles.

The White Sox are coming off a 121-loss campaign, a dubious record for the modern era. They hired Will Venable as their new manager on Oct. 31.

The agreement with Daikin Comfort Technologies North America Inc. takes effect on Jan. 1 and runs through the 2039 season.

Previously known as Minute Maid Park since 2002, the 41,000-seat facility originally opened as Enron Field in March 2000.

Daikin, founded in Japan in 1924, operates the largest HVAC manufacturing facility in North America in the Houston area, where it employs about 10,000 people. The company's leading brands include Goodman, Amana and Quietflex.

"We are excited to be partnering with Daikin for our ballpark's naming rights," Astros owner and chairman Jim Crane said in a news release. "Daikin is an international company that proudly calls the Greater Houston area its North American home.

"The Houston Astros and Daikin share the same values, a commitment to excellence and a desire to give back to our local community. As we celebrate the 25th anniversary of this ballpark in 2025, I am proud to have Daikin alongside us to create even more special memories for our fans now and in the future."

The first game at Daikin Park will be on March 24 as the Astros host Triple-A affiliate Sugar Land in an exhibition game. The Astros open the 2025 regular season on March 27 against the visiting New York Mets.

Graterol required a labrum repair last week and won't begin a throwing program for several weeks.

The right-hander battled multiple injuries last season but was able to return and pitch 2 1/3 innings against the New York Yankees in the World Series.

The 26-year-old Graterol is one of the Dodgers' top bullpen arms but endured an injury-plagued 2024 season during which he made only seven appearances.

After missing the first half of the season with a shoulder injury, Graterol finally made his season debut Aug. 6 and threw eight pitches before straining a hamstring and returning to the IL. He returned on Sept. 10 and tossed seven scoreless innings in six appearances in September before his shoulder flared up again, resulting in another IL stint to end the regular season.

Graterol has a lifetime 2.78 ERA with 11 saves in 188 games (five starts) for the Minnesota Twins (2019) and Dodgers (2020-24).

Bell will oversee player development and the physical and mental performance departments, while also advising on player evaluations and acquisitions, according to the Blue Jays.

Bell spent nearly six seasons managing the Reds before being fired with five games left in the 2024 season. He had a 409-456 record.

The 52-year-old Bell also has worked in the organizations of the Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants.

Bell was a player for 12 seasons (1995-2006) with six teams and batted .257 with 123 homers and 589 RBIs in 1,403 games. He twice hit 20 or more homers -- smacking 21 for the Seattle Mariners in 1999 and 20 for the San Francisco Giants in 2002.

Ferrara was part of Dodgers' world championship teams in 1963 and 1965 and also hit 27 total homers over two-plus seasons with the San Diego Padres from 1969-71.

"We are saddened to hear the news of Al Ferrara's passing today," said Stan Kasten, President & CEO, Los Angeles Dodgers. "Not only was Al a memorable player for the Dodgers in the 1960s, but he tirelessly supported the Dodgers community efforts and was one of our most committed alumni supporters. We extend our sympathies to his family."

Ferrara was named the Dodgers' MVP in 1967 when he batted .277 with 16 homers and 50 RBIs in 122 games.

Following the 1968 season, Ferrara was chosen in the expansion draft by the Padres and was the prime left fielder for the franchise during their first two seasons. He batted .260 with 14 homers and 56 RBIs in 1969, and hit .277 with 13 homers and 51 RBIs in 1970. He played 138 games both seasons.

The Padres traded Ferrara to the Cincinnati Reds in May 1971. Ferrara retired after the season.

A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Ferrara batted .259 with 51 homers and 198 RBIs in 574 games with the Dodgers (1963, 1965-68), Padres (1969-71) and Reds.

During his playing career, Ferrara landed guest acting roles on popular series such as "Gilligan's Island" and "Batman."

Ferrara served as an alumni ambassador for the Dodgers since 2009 and was still making appearances for the organization this year.

Mets officials are optimistic that their No. 2-ranked prospect's sprained right ankle won't have a significant impact on his offseason, according to MLB.com.

Williams, 21, is a shortstop and outfielder currently playing with the AFL's Scottsdale Scorpions. The No. 14 overall pick in the 2022 draft is batting .225 with two homers, nine RBIs and seven steals in 21 games this fall.

The injury occurred in the bottom of the first inning as Williams, playing center field, tracked down a leadoff double by Tyler Callihan of the Glendale Desert Dogs. Williams bumped into the fence and fell to the ground after relaying the ball to the cutoff man.

Through his first three seasons in the minors, Williams is batting .252 with 14 homers, 65 RBIs and 56 steals in 164 games. He reached Triple-A Syracuse for a six-game stint in 2024.

Judge Christopher Lopez, representing the Southern District of Texas in Houston, gave the OK to the company's Chapter 11 reorganization.

DSG stated in a press release that its plan "will reduce its debt from almost $9 billion to $200 million. Upon completion of its restructuring, Diamond will be well capitalized with more than $100 million in cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet."

The ruling came a day after MLB and the Atlanta Braves dropped their objections to DSG's reorganization. The Braves came to a revised deal with DSG to keep the company as its primary broadcaster.

Other baseball teams still partnering with DSG are the Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Angels, Miami Marlins, St. Louis Cardinals and Tampa Bay Rays.

However, MLB stated Thursday that it will oversee broadcasts of Cincinnati Reds games. MLB previously took over the telecasts for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Cleveland Guardians, Colorado Rockies, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins and San Diego Padres.

DS also retains the rights to 13 NBA teams (the Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies, Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Oklahoma City Thunder, Orlando Magic and San Antonio Spurs) and eight NHL teams (the Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Detroit Red Wings, Los Angeles Kings, Minnesota Wild, Nashville Predators, St. Louis Blues and Tampa Bay Lightning).

DSG chief executive officer David Preschlack said in a statement, "Today is a landmark day for Diamond, as we embark on a new path for our business. Diamond is now unencumbered by legacy debt, financially stable and enthusiastically supported by new ownership. Over the last 18 months, we have worked tirelessly to strengthen our business, including by reaching revised multi-year rights agreements with team and league partners, go-forward carriage agreements with major distribution partners, a broad naming rights partnership with FanDuel and a commercial agreement with Amazon.

"These critical achievements and a realigned business are enabling us to emerge as a sustainable, go-forward entity that drives value for our partners and fans."

Los Angeles Dodgers star Ohtani, the likely National League Most Valuable Player, received the Edgar Martinez Outstanding Designated Hitter Award.

Sale, the Atlanta Braves left-hander who is the expected NL Cy Young Award winner, was chosen the NL Comeback Player of the Year.

The AL Comeback Player of the Year award went to Chicago White Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet.

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Emmanuel Clase and St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Ryan Helsley were chosen as the AL and NL Reliever of the Year, respectively.

Ohtani, who didn't pitch in 2024 after undergoing elbow surgery, still made plenty of impact from the DH position. He became the first player in major league history to hit 50-plus homers and steal 50-plus bases in the same season, finishing with an NL-leading 54 long balls and 59 thefts.

Ohtani also led the league with 130 RBIs, 134 runs, a .390 on-base percentage and a .646 slugging percentage.

Sale won the Triple Crown by leading the NL with 18 wins, a 2.38 ERA and 225 strikeouts after being limited to a total of 31 starts over the prior four seasons due to injuries.

Crochet missed all of the 2022 season and much of 2023 following Tommy John surgery. He rebounded to go 6-12 with a 3.58 ERA and 209 strikeouts over 146 innings in 32 starts this year.

Clase topped the AL with 47 saves (in 50 chances) and had a spectacular 0.61 ERA and a 4-2 record in 74 games.

Helsley had a major-league-best 49 saves (in 53 opportunities) to go with a 7-4 mark and a 2.04 ERA in 65 appearances.
